Kunes Auto & RV Group Extends Community Support Campaign

Kunes Auto & RV Group, renowned as one of the fastest-growing dealership networks in the Midwest, has announced the extension of its United Way fundraising campaign. This decision follows a significant sales push in March at its three Milwaukee-area locations, where a total of 582 vehicles were sold. This achievement led to an impressive contribution of $58,200 toward the United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County’s initiative aimed at reducing barriers to employment.

Brian Bohm, the Milwaukee Area Regional Director of Kunes, expressed the company’s commitment to the community, emphasizing, “We made a commitment to this community and intend to keep it.” The company plans to continue donating $100 for every vehicle sold until it reaches the ambitious milestone of 1,000 cars and a total donation of $100,000. Bohm reiterated their goal, stating, “This community deserves real support.”

Supporting Local Residents

Launched on March 1, the campaign directly benefits residents of Milwaukee who face transportation obstacles that hinder their employment opportunities. Through the United Way's Reducing Barriers to Employment Advancement program, the initiative provides vital transportation assistance and resources to individuals in need of job access, job training, and essential services.

This campaign's extension is emblematic of a broader commitment to community investment that Kunes Auto & RV Group has upheld since its inception. With a guiding philosophy centered around Faith, Family, and Giving Back, the company donates 10% of its net profits each year through the Kunes Family Foundation, which distributes over $1 million annually to various community organizations, charities, and worthy causes focused on aiding those in need.

A Legacy of Giving

Since its establishment in 1996, Kunes Auto & RV Group has expanded to encompass more than 40 locations across the Midwest, offering both automotive and recreational vehicle services. The dealership group has been recognized for its employee and customer engagement, receiving accolades such as Automotive News’ Best Dealerships to Work For, further solidifying its commitment to community involvement.

In recent years, the company has successfully acquired several dealerships including Kunes Buick GMC of Oak Creek, Kunes Buick GMC of Greenfield, and Kunes Hope Chevrolet from 2023 to 2025. These acquisitions have bolstered its presence in the Milwaukee market and its capacity to give back to the community.

Looking Forward

As the Kunes Auto & RV Group continues its campaign into the coming months, its aspiration to reach a total of 1,000 vehicles sold remains firmly focused on uplifting the local community. This initiative not only represents a fundraising effort but also fosters hope and support for families striving for better employment opportunities in the Milwaukee area.
